Lidtke Mill Research Paper

Although this helps to add to the eerie feel of the story, it is to be expected. Another line that appeals to the emotions is, “THUMP, THUMP. The loud noise happened again, and a small scream escaped her mouth… THUMP, there it goes again, somebody is up there! (Castle of Spirits, 14)” This is the point in the story where the action is just starting to build up and make you want to read more. Lines like these are those thrill-seeking points that make you want to read more and find out what happens next. This urban legend has a good appeal to pathos and makes you want to keep reading it until the very end.

Not only were the workers not treated well, the building was also very unsanitary and unsafe. They worked on top of each other in cramped spaces where there were just lines and lines of sewing machines. The exit doors were locked in order to stop the workers from leaving to go to the bathroom. Only the foreman had the keys to unlock the doors.There were four elevators that had access to the factory floors but only one of them were in working condition. In order to get to the working elevator, the workers had to go down a long narrow hallway. This elevator was only able to hold 12 people at a time. Factory floors had no sprinkler system and the entire building only had one fire escape that was not big enough for all of the people in

Millford plantation is a historic place located on SC 261, west of Pinewood, SC. Built in 1839-1841, Millford Plantation is considered by many to be the finest example of Greek revival residential architecture in America. The house is located in such a remote section of rural SC that it comes to a surprise to first time visitors, who must drive over miles of dirt roads and through thick forests to reach the house. The house has massive columns, sixteen foot windows, a domed rotunda enclosing a spectacular staircase. All these impressive features are inherent in Greek Rival architecture (Classical American Homes).

“March 26th, 1911: the remains of the dead, it was hardly possible to call them bodies, because that word would suggest something human, and there was nothing human about most of these, were taken in a steady stream to the morgue for identification” (quote from The New York Times, used in documentary). The bodies were all so charred and mangled that the process of identification took three full days, even after these three days there were still seven bodies that could not be identified. On April 5th, 1911 a mass and funeral was held for these victims. The documentary also covered the new building they began using afterwards, just weeks after the new factory opened fire inspectors came to review the building. They found rows of sewing machines crammed too tightly together and blocking exit

The mill’s owners and managers had little impetus to change the way in which they had always conducted business and treated employees. With limited employment options in the area, the majority of the people who lived in the town were mill employees. This was

The industrial working conditions were poor. The buildings were probably not designed with good condition in

There were large numbers of gentlemen(A person who didn’t know how to use their own hands to work), only 4 carpenters, and no farmers(Doc C). Since there were many gentlemen(65), they weren’t very helpful, and if they tried to be helpful, they weren’t good at the job they were given. Since there were no farmers, there was a scarce amount of food for everyone, which then led to subsistence farming(Only farming enough food for your own family)(Doc. C.). As a result of no carpenters nor farmers but too many gentlemen, there was a massive lack of skill, which led to many

MILLERSBURG — A Millersburg man is in custody, charged with drug trafficking, after local law enforcement found drugs and evidence of trafficking during a Monday search of his home.

Thirty people were killed instantly. Eight later died from their injuries and hundreds of others were injured. A majority of the persons killed were messengers making deliveries, stenographers, clerks, and brokers (Gross, 2001).The blast was so strong it sent debris soaring as high as 34 floors and derailed a street car one block over(Andrews, 2014). Buildings shook as their large windows burst inwards. Luckily, most of the occupants inside were spared

The mill paid for the light bill, grocery bill, and the Christmas bill (Bragg 22). However, this meant that all of these benefits that were provided for them were owned by the company who ran these mills. These companies took advantage of this and made sure that when their employees got paid that all of their earnings and if not more were recycled back up into the mills for the company’s profit. This prevented most people who lived in the mill villages from being able to move out to find other means of work. Although despite the corruptness that took place within the mill, it provided salvation for some people who lived there. For example, H.L West and his family moved to the mill because H.L. caught the Spanish Flu. His father found a job in the mill which he earned enough money to afford a doctor to treat H.L. of his illness (Bragg

The boy has lost his temper in the games arcade, he so upset about what the teenagers are doing because, the teenagers are basically bullying Grandad for no reason just for their own entertainment and the group of people were only trying to look cool and mentally hurt Grandad.

All these conditions are something that the workers didn’t really like to do. One of them was how they would spend long hours in the fields that was very tiring for them. For example, a day in the fields would usually last 10 hours and 12 hours in the mill. The workers who would work the hardest would be the ones who would strip the canes of sharp-edged leaves because they come home with cuts and blisters on their

little after 10 A.M. that morning the two mines exploded causing the ground to shake violently as far as eight miles away. The explosion shattered buildings and pavements, hurled people and horses violently to the ground, and knocked streetcars off of their rails. Willing volunteers rushed to the mines to help rescue as many miners as possible. Black coal filled the mines and the atmosphere outside. The explosion derstroyed a ventilation fan which was installed to circulate the clean air. The volunteers at to make its way through the fallen timbers, wrecked cars, mining equipment, coal dust and other rubble. As the rescue parties made there way deeper in the mine they used canvas curtains to restore ventilation. Many volunteers found the conditions

It was a night of May 22, 1903, in Pittsburgh PA. A celebration party of Pennsylvania Electric Mechanical Institute was held on the fifth and sixth floor of the Donnelley building. An amount of young people was attended and about 700 people totally in the two floors for the ball. At around 10 PM, there was another group of 17 passengers loaded into the elevator on the first floor to the sixth. When the elevator just reached the floor, it suddenly let go and fell six stories, crashing into the elevator pit. Meanwhile, the elevator cable and assembly came crashing down onto the elevator, crushing the occupants. At this moment, all other people heard the crash and rushed to the scene. Someone who was near the elevator also fell into the open shaft
